According to the commissioners, the sheriff’s office exceeded it’s allocation for 2019 by 71 percent, which was 17 percent above the origi- nal request for the 2019 allocation made by the sheriff’s office. President of the Board of Commissioners Randy Smith read a resolution addressing the matter which was unanimously approved by the board. The resolution reads as follows: WHEREAS, 5705.392 (B)(2) OF THE OHIO REVISED CODE STATES: During any fiscal year, a board of county commissioners, by resolu- tion, may adopt a spending plan or an amended spending plan setting forth separately a quarterly schedule of expenses and expenditures of appropriations from any county fund, except as provided in division (C) of this section, for any county office, department, or division that, during the previous fiscal year, spent one hundred ten per cent or more of the total amount appropriated for personal services and payrolls by the board in its annual appropriation measure required by section, AND WHEREAS, The Meigs County Commissioners have determined that the Meigs County Sheriff has exceeded his 2019 allocation by 71% and exceeded his original request by 17%, AND WHEREAS, the spending plan or amended spending plan shall remain in effect for not more than two fiscal years. But if the admin- istrative officer of the office, department, or division for which the plan was adopted is an elected official, the spending plan shall not be in effect during a fiscal year in which that elected official is no longer the administrative officer of that office, department, or division, AND WHEREAS, (3) At least thirty days before adopting a resolution under division (B)(1) or (2) of this section, the board of county commissioners shall provide written notice to each county office, depart- ment, or division for which it intends to adopt a spending plan or an amended spending plan. The notice shall be sent by regular first-class mail or provided by personal service, and shall include a copy of the proposed spending plan or proposed amended spending plan. The county office, department, or division may meet with the board at any regular session of the board to comment on the notice, or to express concerns or ask questions about the See SPENDING | 3 Residents warned of scam POMEROY — Meigs County officials are warning of scam calls which appear to be from the Meigs County Commissioner’s Office or Common Pleas Court.

To better support grain producers in this area, WVU Extension Service is hosting the second-annual Mid-Ohio Valley Grain Conference, which offers a full day of discussion that addresses specific issues that these farmers face. The free conference will take place on Friday, March 6 at the Army National Guard Armory in Point Pleasant. The sessions will be both interactive and educational, covering a wide range of topics from nutrient management and cover crops to grain marketing and integrated disease and pest control. Topics will be presented by experts from WVU Extension Service, University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service, The Ohio State University Extension and more. At the end of the day, attendees will have the chance to share their experiences and identify how WVU Extension Service research and programming might be able to better meet their needs during a hot topic open-forum session. Last year, Ben Goff, WVU Extension Service agriculture and natural resources agent in Mason and Putnam counties, saw an opportunity for WVU Extension Service to serve a population of farmers who might not get the attention they need. This year, he wants to continue to strengthen those relationships with farmers. “West Virginia is not necessarily a big grain state, but there are still pockets around the state where grains are an important part of our growers’ operations,” said Goff. “We’re hosting this conference again to remind our grain producers that WVU Extension Service cares about their success and is available as a resource. We want them to be able to bring their local WVU Extension Service agent the problems they might be having on the farm and get the reliable, researchbased help that they need.” Attendees can earn West Virginia or Ohio pesticide certification credits and West Virginia nutrient management continuing education credits.

Daily Sentinel Bloomberg promises to keep fighting By Steve Peoples and Lindsay Whitehurst Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — His aura suddenly shattered, a defiant Michael Bloomberg sent a pointed message Thursday to a political world grappling with his underwhelming presidential debate debut: He’s not going away. The New York ultrabillionaire lashed out at leading Democratic rival Bernie Sanders and President Donald Trump, addressing voters face to face in the Super Tuesday state of Utah. That was just hours after struggling to answer dangerous yet predictable questions about his record on race, gender and wealth during a nationally televised beatdown that rattled would-be supporters and thrilled critics in both parties. Bloomberg didn’t go easy in his own review of the Las Vegas debate: “How was your night last night? Look, the real winner in the debate last night was Donald Trump,” Bloomberg told a crowd of several hundred in Utah’s largest city. But then he added: “He thinks I’m going to go away. Wrong, Donald.” Though never onstage with his rivals before Wednesday night, the former New York mayor has built support in national polls though huge expenditures on polished television ads. He released a campaign finance report Thursday Rick Bowmer | AP Democratic presidential candidate and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg speaks during a campaign event Thursday in Salt Lake City. After damaging attacks by his rivals in the primary race, Bloomberg acknowledged his weak performance. “How was your night last night? Look, the real winner in the debate last night was Donald Trump,” Bloomberg told the crowd. that reminded rivals in both parties of his indisputable advantage in the 2020 contest: Money. Specifically, the man worth an estimated $60 billion reported spending $409 million through the first nine weeks of his presidential campaign, including $220 million last month alone. Still, there were signs that his debate performance shook the confidence of would-be supporters who, just 24 hours earlier, believed Bloomberg might be the ideal candidate for the Democratic Party’s anxious establishment to rally behind. Instead, a new reality began to settle in, at least among some prominent donors and political operatives, who acknowledged a stark divide between the strength of Bloombergthe-brand and Bloomberg-the-candidate. “I’ve never seen a bil- lionaire get disemboweled before, but good God, that was bad,” said Boyd Brown, a South Carolina-based Democratic strategist who was considering backing Bloomberg earlier in the week. “I don’t see how he bounces back from that.” Some prominent donors weren’t impressed either. Rufus Gifford, a leading fundraiser for both of Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns, said, “As a Biden supporter but also someone who respects Mayor Bloomberg, he did nothing last night that encouraged me to look in a different direction.” Trump and his allies were downright giddy. Former Trump senior adviser Steve Bannon said he’s not dismissing Bloomberg after one debate given his extraordinary political assets — organization, a sophisticated data operation and an unlimited bank account — yet the “myth of Bloomberg” has been replaced by a new reality. “Elizabeth Warren skinned him alive in front of the nation. And if you can’t beat Fauxcahontas in February, you’re not going to beat Donald Trump in October,” Bannon said. The leading Republican strategist said it was “malpractice by his senior advisers” to put Bloomberg onstage before the March 3 Super Tuesday primaries since Bloomberg won’t be on the ballot until then. Those senior advisers declined to respond to requests for comment, though immediately after the debate, campaign manager Kevin Sheekey noted that Bloomberg hadn’t debated in more than a decade. Ohio ballot change German gunman calling for genocide kills 9 effort cleared for signature gathering By David Mchugh, David Rising and Frank Jordans Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Backers of a proposal to let Ohioans be automatically registered to vote when conducting business at state Bureau of Motor Vehicles offices were cleared Thursday to begin a statewide signature gathering process. The proposal announced earlier this year would also require early voting locations to be open on the two weekends prior to Election Day, and would allow eligible voters to register and vote on the same day. Attorney General Dave Yost on Thursday certified the petition’s summary language and the validity of the first 1,000 signatures. Ohioans for Secure and Fair Elections must now gather about 430,000 signatures to meet its goal of placing the issue on the November ballot. Under the proposal, military service members and overseas citizens would receive their ballots in a timely fashion and voters with disabilities would be guaranteed equal access to the ballot box. The requirement that voters be registered during BMV trips unless they opt out is also part of pending House and Senate legislation. Twenty-one states plus the District of Columbia have same-day voter registration, and more than a dozen have some manner of automated voter registration, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 436-840) HANAU, Germany — A German who shot and killed nine people of foreign background in a rampage that began at a hookah bar frequented by immigrants had posted an online rant calling for the “complete extermination” of many “races or cultures in our midst,” authorities said Thursday. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the attack exposed the “poison” of racism in the country. The gunman, Tobias Rathjen, 43, was found dead at his home along with his mother, and authorities said they were treating the rampage as an act of domestic terrorism. Turks, ethnic Kurds and people with backgrounds from Bulgaria, Bosnia and Romania were among those killed, according to news reports. Turkey’s ambassador said five of the dead were Turkish citizens. People of Turkish background make up Germany’s single largest minority. Rathjen opened fire at the hookah bar and a neighboring cafe in the Frankfurt suburb of Hanau around 10 p.m. Wednesday, killing several people, then traveled about 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) and fired on a car and a sports bar, claiming more victims. In addition to the dead, six people were injured, one seriously, authorities said. Hookah lounges are places where people gather to smoke flavored tobacco from Middle Eastern water pipes. Metin Kan, who knew many of the victims, said it was obvious why the gunman chose the neighborhood. “Look, a hookah bar there, a gaming parlor there, a doner kebab place there — it’s a place frequented by immigrants,” he said. “Why this hatred of foreigners? We all get along here.” Kadir Kose, who runs a cafe nearby, said he was shocked at the extent of the violence: “This is a whole other level, something we hear about from America.” The bloodshed came amid growing concerns about far-right violence in Germany and steppedup efforts to crack down on it, including last week’s detention of a dozen men on suspicion they were planning attacks against politicians and minorities. “This poison exists in our society and its is responsible for far too many crimes,” Merkel said, citing the killings of 10 people across the country between 2000 and 2007 by a far-right gang, the fatal shooting last year of a regional politician from her party, and a deadly attack outside a synagogue in Halle on Yom Kippur in October. She pledged to stand up against those who seek to divide the country. “There is much to indicate that the perpetrator acted out of far- right extremist, racist motives,” she said. “Out of hatred for people with other origins, other faiths or a different appearance.” While investigators said it appeared the gunman acted alone, Germany’s federal prosecutor, Peter Frank, said authorities are trying to find out whether there were others who knew of or supported the attack. He added that his office is looking into any contacts the killer may have had inside Germany or abroad. Peter Beuth, interior minister for the state of Hesse, said it does not appear Rathjen had a criminal record or was on the radar of Germany’s domestic intelligence agency. Witnesses and surveillance video of the getaway car led authorities quickly to the gunman’s home, where he and his 72-year-old mother were found dead with gunshot wounds, apparently bringing the number of victims killed to 10.

The mayor spoke of his continuing efforts to find ways of helping residents with the cost of hookups in regard to the 833 Sewer Expansion Project, and again stressed the importance of keeping the public informed as the installation progresses. Anderson wanted to remind residents and all interested parties of the 833 Sewer Expansion Project public meeting on Wednesday, March 4, at 7 p.m. in the Community Room of Farmer’s Bank in Pomeroy. Engineer Mitch Altier and a representative from the Meigs County Health Department will be at the meeting to answer questions, and a representative from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will address ways to help residents who need assistance with the cost of connecting to the new system. Anderson reiterated the expansion has a lot of benefits for the Village of Pomeroy including opening areas for new development and giving current residents and business an opportunity to connect to the system. Council also discussed the amount to be charged for failure to appear warrants, saying that while the amount should not be overly burdensome, it is a reminder to those who fail to appear of the consequences. “It takes resources to issue and enforce these warrants,” Anderson said. “In the past we have sometimes given a pass, but I think that there needs to be some compensation for the efforts required for enforcement, and consequences for those who fail to appear.” No decision was made at that time, but instead kept open for further discussion. In other matters, council approved the payment of bills, the January and February court reports, and approximately $1,900 to repair a police car. Council also rejected the bid for property across from Waterworks Park, stating it did not meet the offering amount. The property consists of approximately 2.5 acres and it’s future will be discussed at a later date.

The sheriff was notified in a public meeting on January 16, 2020 of the 30-day notice, AND WHEREAS, The Meigs County Commissioners have discovered many line items that exceeded the appropriation, further the commissioners were made aware of MOUs that have created excess spending that have been deemed unlawful by legal opinion, BE IT RESOLVED, The Meigs County Commissioners shall institute the County Spending Plan on the budget of the Meigs County Sheriff’s office on the 20th day of February 2020. In a conversation with The Daily Sentinel following the meeting, Smith explained that the spending plan will not go into effect until the beginning of the second quarter, which is April 1, as there were some carryover bills from 2019 which were paid in the first quarter. Smith said it would not be appropriate to count those toward the 2020 allocation. As for how exactly the spending plan will work, Smith said they will be meeting with Sheriff Keith Wood and his office in the near future to discuss the plan, but that it is likely they will take the annual appropriation and divide it equally among the four quarters of the year for the quarterly budget. Sheriff Wood was attending a state sheriff’s training on Thursday and was not at the meeting. Major Scott Trussell, who was present at the meeting on be half of the sheriff’s office, made note that they will be receiving an “extensive” inmate medical bill in the near future as they have had an inmate recently hospitalized for multiple days. Meigs County resident Kim King addressed the commissioners regarding the sheriff’s office budget and concerns over pay for deputies versus pay for administrative staff, as well as the hiring of an additional administrative staff member. Commissioner Jimmy Will explained that while he (or other commissioners) may not agree with how the sheriff’s office is handled regarding staffing, it is the sheriff’s department to handle as he sees fit. Will added that it is the job of the commissioners to look out for the best interest of the county and the budget which is what they can do with the spending plan. He suggested that King meet with the sheriff regarding her specific questions for additional information and clarification. Commissioner Tim Ihle added that the commissioner are not to be the overseers of a department, but are to let the elected officials run their respective offices. The commissioners can simply provide their opinion on matters as the opportunity arises. The one option spelled out for the commissioners by law is the quarterly spending plan which the board acted on Thursday. Commissioner Ihle stated that there have been weekly meetings taking place at the sheriff’s office on the budget and that it is something the commissioners want to work on with the sheriff’s office for a solution and a better outcome. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. �CHURCH/NEWS 4 Friday, February 21, 2020 TODAY IN HISTORY The Associated Press Today is Friday, Feb. 21, the 52nd day of 2020.

Daily Sentinel Do not give up on God “Preacher, I just do not have confidence in God anymore.” It has been close to thirty years ago, but I have not forgotten the sound of pain contained in that statement. The only thing I could do at the moment was just listen to the one pouring out the complaints that had become embedded in a saddened heart. There was no doubt that the individual had been going through much disappointment over the previous months, despite making effort to trust the Lord through one let down after another. But, the breaking point had been reached—-at least in their reasoning it had. Although I tried to off set their perspective with proper questions, say the right things, and cite the right Scripture, this individual insisted that there was no other recourse for them than to give up on God. And, thus, they did. It is the unfortunate reality that many people fumble to this same conclusion. Some express it by not going back to church. Others give up any sense of zeal for the less to give up on Lord. Doubt about God because of His God’s power somesuperior wisdom. times super-cedes Are you smarter faith and trust. than God?

That cannot be true, because if God has done at least one thing right for you in your estimation, that is certainly enough. Then, there is the ultimate truth that we are unworthy of anything God does for us. The amazing truth of the matter is that God is constantly doing right things for our lives. He constantly supplies us with our every need. “My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory. He constantly “causes us to triumph.” He constantly answers our prayers. He is constantly with us. “I will never leave you or forsake you.” You cannot beat with a stick all that our God does right here and right now for our lives. It is down right dumb to give up on God. It is useless to have any reason that will justify such a decision. Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio. GOD’S KIDS KORNER Transfiguration Sunday This Sunday is a special Sunday with a big word for the title: Transfiguration of the Lord Sunday. Transfiguration means a complete change in form or appearance into a more beautiful or spiritual state, to be transformed. Our Bible story this week is taken from Matthew 17:1-9 but it is also found in the books of Mark and Luke too. It’s a story about Jesus and three of His disciples taking a hike up a mountain and what happens there. Jesus had told His disciples that He would suffer, be killed, and be raised back to life. They didn’t understand this, so about a week later, Jesus took Peter, James, and John up a mountain with Him to pray. While they were praying, Jesus’ appearance was changed, and His clothing became dazzling white. He was seen until after His “transfigured.” resurrection. Then suddenly Jesus wanted two men appeared, these three trusted Moses and Elijah, Disciples to see and they began Him in at least a talking with Jesus part of His heavabout His death enly glory, so they that would soon Ann could gain a greattake place.

Never forget that Jesus can “transfigure” (completely change) us too into His holy children. Let’s say a prayer. Dear Jesus, please help us to remember who You really are – our Savior, Redeemer, and Friend. You are truly God’s Son who came to earth to save us and now You wait for us in heaven. Help us to be transfigured and changed into children who love and serve You always. In Your name we pray. Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church and the Middleport First Presbyterian Church. CROSS WORDS Sovereign in the silence, introduction I’ve never written anything on Esther. Never so much as mentioned her name. But it’s always been one of my favorite stories in the Bible. I remember watching the Veggie Tales version as a child. Captivated by the thought of a pretty girl named Esther marrying a king, saving her people from death, and—well, that’s pretty much all I remember. Only, there’s so much more. For the next several weeks, I’m writing a series of articles on Esther. But first, I must set the scene. Introduce some people. And clarify some important details. After all, it’s hard to read a book without first understanding where it comes from and how it fits into the rest of God’s Word. The setting of Esther is the Persian Empire. If you’re familiar with the Old Testament, you know that God’s people are forced into Babylonian exile. You can read about this in 2 Kings 25. In 539 B.C., however, the Babylonian Empire is defeated by the Persian Empire. By the time the story of Esther takes place, King Ahasuerus is over the Persian Empire, and the Jewish people is God’s Word; therefore, it’s worare under his rule. thy of our study. In Ezra 1-2, we read about But it might surprise you to a previous king of the Persian learn that God’s name is never Empire named Cyrus and his even mentioned in Esther. Not offer to let the Jews go home. even once! In fact, it’s the only Despite this great opportubook of the Bible that doesn’t nity, however, a number of Jews mention God.

Because they’re comfortContributing In Exodus, God works in obviable in a foreign land. Content columnist ous ways. He appears to Moses with the secular culture and in a burning bush (Ex. 3), sends customs of Persia. And this leads to some major problems. But I’m trying brutal plagues upon Pharaoh and the Egyptians (Ex. 7-12), and splits the not to preach yet! For now, the important thing to realize is that God’s people Red Sea in two (Ex. 14). But that’s not how Esther reads. Instead, God uses are in exile under King Ahasuerus of an orphaned girl named Esther and her Persia. cousin Mordecai to save His people Now that we understand some from annihilation. context, let’s focus on the book itself. As one commentary explains, “CoinUnfortunately, we don’t know the cidences in Esther are the fingerprints author. Some claim Mordecai. Others of God’s hands at work.” What might claim Ezra. But one thing we know for look coincidental is actually under the sure: God is the ultimate Author. “All sovereignty of a gracious God who Scripture is breathed out by God and seeks to accomplish His purpose among profitable for teaching, for reproof, for His people. correction, and for training in righBut how often do our lives resemble teousness” (2 Tim. 3:16 ESV). Esther the Book of Esther? Where is God when we can’t hear His voice, see His face, or feel His presence? Where is God when stuff seems to be falling apart? Together, we’re going to discover how God is working even when we think He is absent. He is sovereign in the silence of our daily lives, working through the most ordinary of circumstances and imperfect of people to fulfill His promises. Both for His glory and our good. Remember, the apostle Paul writes, “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” (Rom. 8:28 ESV). I invite you to join me on this journey through Esther. May God stir our hearts to recognize His presence in the silence of our ordinary circumstances. Even when God seems silent, He is sovereign. And what a glorious hope that is. Isaiah Pauley is the Minister of Worship for Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.

The River Valley boys basketball kept things competitive over the course of three periods, but top seeded Fairfield Union used a pivotal 20-5 third quarter surge to pull away Wednesday night during a 59-36 victory in a Division II sectional semifinal contest at Jim Myers Gymnasium on the campus of Logan High School. The 16th seeded Raiders (6-18) mustered double-digit point outputs in only the fourth stanza, but the guests still found themselves within striking distance as both teams entered the break. The Silver and Black had four players score in the opening frame, but Huston Harrah provided six points during a 14-9 run that gave the Falcons (20-3) a quick 5-point lead. Jordan Lambert notched seven points in the second frame for RVHS, but the hosts still managed a small 11-9 spurt while securing a 25-18 edge at the intermission. Harrah tacked on eight points as part of that monumental third quarter charge that extended the Red and Black lead out to 45-23 entering the finale. Lambert added nine points down the stretch run, but the hosts ultimately ended regulation with a small 14-13 spurt to wrap up the 23-point outcome. Fairfield Union outrebounded RVHS by a sizable 34-13 overall margin, including a 15-2 edge on the offensive glass. The Raiders also committed 11 of the 21 turnovers in the contest. The Silver and Black made 16 total field goals — including a trio of 3-pointers — and also made its only free throw attempt on the night. Lambert paced River Valley with a game-high 21 points, followed by Brandon Call with five points and Chase Caldwell with four markers. Cole Young, Mason Rhodes and Jordan Burns completed the scoring with two points each. The Falcons made 25 total field goals — including three trifectas — and also netted 6-of-8 charity tosses for 75 percent. Harrah paced FUHS with 19 points, followed by Chase Poston with 10 points and Brennen Rowles with eight markers. Ryan Magill and Andrew Moll respectively chipped in seven and six points, while Charlie Bean and Sam Bernard completed the winning tally with five and four markers.

Cleland produced 10 points in the second frame, but a half-dozen of those came in the final five seconds of the half. The Senators were clinging to their final lead of the night at 21-18, but Cleland converted an old-fashioned 3-pointer while knotting things up at 21-all. Cleland then stole the inbounds pass and buried a trifecta just before the buzzer, capping a 13-10 push that gave the Marauders a 24-21 intermission advantage.

We corrected it in the second half, kind of clamped down on him a little bit and contained better. In the second half, that’s as good of defense as we’ve played all-year, I was proud of them.” For the game, Eastern shot 21-of-42 (50 percent) from the field, including 7-of-12 (58.3 percent) from threepoint range. Meanwhile, NDHS was 8-of-38 (21.1 percent) from the field, including 3-of-13 (23.1 percent) from deep. At the foul line, EHS was 1-of-2 (50 percent) and Notre Dame was 5-of-11 (45.5 percent). The Titans won the rebounding battle by a 28-to-19 count, including 12-to-2 on the offensive end. Eastern had eight turnovers in the game, 10 fewer than NDHS. The Eagles combined for 15 assists, 10 steals and four rejections, while the Titans claimed seven assists, two steals and two blocks. Barringer led the Eagles with 19 points and six rebounds, scoring all of his game-high in the first half. Colton Reynolds was next with 13 points, while Ryan Dill scored eight and led the defense with three steals and a block. Derrick Metheney and Mason Dishong marked Gray Wolves complete sweep of Rio four points apiece in the win, with Metheney earning a team-best four assists. Jace Bullington rounded out the winning tally with two points. Nichols led Notre Dame with 11 points and nine rebounds, with all of his points also coming before halftime. Dominic Sparks claimed seven points for the Titans, Christian Alvarez, Gary Zheng and Dylan Seison each scored two, while Jermaine Powell had a team-best four assists. Seison led the Titan defense with a steal and a block. Next, Coach Kight is looking for his Eagles to make the most of a third shot at Trimble, after falling to the Tomcats 62-58 and 64-33 in the regular season. “Hopefully the third time’s the charm,” Kight said. “We played them close up there, they handled us pretty well at our place in the second half, we’ll have our hands full. I’ve known Coach (Howie) Caldwell since I was a player in high school, I know they’re going to be ready to play. I know Coach (Matt) Simpson and I will have our boys ready to play, hopefully this gym will be packed and we’ll be rolling at 6:15 next Wednesday.” © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Even a pair of valiant comeback efforts by the University of Rio Grande couldn’t keep the RedStorm from a rendezvous with a dubious distinction in the record book. Lourdes University recorded a doubleheader sweep for the second straight day, hanging on late in both ends of the twinbill for wins of 6-4 and 16-14 in nine innings at VA Memorial Stadium. The Gray Wolves opened the season at 4-0 for the first time in program history as a result of the wins and earned their first fourgame series sweep of an opponent since taking four straight games from Cornerstone University during the 2014 season. Rio Grande, on the other hand, slipped to 0-11 out of the gate and may very well have secured the worst start to a season in program history, eclipsing the 0-10 start to the 1999 campaign by the thenRedmen. Prior to this season, the RedStorm had never lost more than six consecutive games to begin a season under current head coach Brad Warnimont. Win number one in 2020 looked like it might be on the horizon in Sunday’s opener after Rio mounted an eighthinning rally to erase a 3-1 deficit. Freshman Austin Kendall’s (Troy, OH) two-out, bases-loaded single to shallow center appeared to tie the game, but after senior Walter Baker III (Louisville, KY) scored from third, freshman Carter Smith (Point Pleasant, WV) was called out by the plate umpire on the relay throw home.

Harrison Jackson added a two-run triple in the top of the ninth before crossing himself on a single by Cameron Gallo for a 6-2 cushion. Rio Grande got an RBI single by freshman Trey Carter (Wheelersburg, OH) and subsequent run-scoring triple by senior Isaiah Lewis (Willingboro, NJ) to pull within 6-4, but Baker III and Smith - each representing the tying run were retired routinely to settle the issue once and for all. Carter finished 3-for-5, while Kendall and senior Juan Familia (Reading, PA) had two hits each. Sophomore Peyton Overturf (West Frankfort, IL) also had an RBI double. Graduate senior Zach Kendall (Troy, OH) deserved a better fate, but suffered the loss. The right-hander allowed just five hits and two runs - one earned over seven innings. He walked one and fanned eight. Kolby Rogge started and got the win for Lourdes, allowing seven hits and one run over 6-2/3 innings. Jackson, Gallo, Sedrick Gonzalez and Reilly Walters all had two hits in the win for Lourdes. Game two, originally scheduled for seven innings, turned out to be a 3-hour, 53-minute nineinning marathon and one of the wilder contests the RedStorm has played in some time. Lourdes cruised into the bottom of the seventh with a 14-5 lead, but Rio Grande sent 14 players to the plate as part of an improbable 9-run rally to tie the contest. Freshman Tristan Arno (Elyria, OH) and sophomore IIZadod Gabriel (Toledo, OH) delivered consecutive two-run doubles in the frame, while senior Caden Cluxton (Washington Court House, OH) had a run-scoring triple and freshman Albert Bobadilla (Bronx, NY) contributed a runscoring double. The Gray Wolves scored twice in the top of the ninth thanks to a throwing error and a run-scoring hit by Gallo, setting the stage for a dramatic home ninth. Cluxton tripled for a second time with one out and Bobadilla followed with a walk, putting the winning run at the plate for the RedStorm, but Lewis CABLE struck out for the second out of the inning and sophomore Cole Dyer (Wheelersburg, OH) was retired on a long drive to left-center, which Lourdes’ Brad Ammonds caught a step in front of the fence, to close out the game. Ammons and Glen Crabtree had two hits each for Lourdes, with Crabtree, Jay Denman and Zak Mon driving in two runs each. Max Lojko, the last of seven pitchers for the Gray Wolves, picked up the win. Smith, the sixth of seven pitchers for Rio, suffered the loss. Cluxton finished 4-for6 for the RedStorm, while Lewis had three hits and two RBI and Gabriel finished 2-for-5 with three RBI. Arno also drove in two runs in a losing cause. Rio Grande is slated to return to action on Saturday when ninthranked Indiana Tech visits Bob Evans Field for a four-game weekend series. Doubleheaders are set for Saturday and Sunday, beginning at noon each day, as the RedStorm opens the home portion of their schedule.

Robinson, 27, of Thibodeaux, Louisiana, and Jaquan Tyreke Bray, 26, of La Grange, Georgia, were in the El Paso County Detention Center after federal authorities charged them with conspiracy to possess marijuana with intent to distribute it.

The agent radioed ahead to the patrol’s checkpoint in near Sierra Blanca, Texas, 83 miles (134 kilometers) southeast of El Paso. There, the patrol stopped and inspected the vehicle, finding several large duffel bags containing vacuum-sealed black bags containing what tested positive as marijuana, the complaint stated. Also found were glass jars and packaging equipment, along with $3,100 in cash. Agents said the unidentified passenger was an Uber driver who also drove and ran errands for Robinson and his family and friends. The passenger showed agents cellphone texts that showed Robinson had offered to pay the passenger to claim ownership of the marijuana, according to the complaint.

(AP) — Marshall and East Carolina will open the 2020 football season a week earlier than scheduled to accommodate a national television broadcast marking the 50th anniversary of the worst disaster in U.S. sports history. The schools announced Thursday that the game originally set for Sept. 5 in Greenville now will be played Aug. 29. The network was not announced. The schools were bonded forever when Marshall’s chartered bert said. “This opportunity will allow us to properly pay our respect to those we tragically lost 50 years ago and share our enduring support for Marshall University with the rest of the country.” Rather than drop football altogether, Marshall persevered. Jack Lengyel was hired as coach for the 1971 season. The tragedy was chronicled in the 2006 movie “We Are Marshall,” starring Matthew McConaughey as Lengyel. Marshall holds a memorial service each year at a campus fountain dedicated to the crash victims. plane crashed while returning from a game at East Carolina on Nov. 14, 1970. The jet crashed into a hillside short of an airport in rain and fog near Huntington, West Virginia. Among the 75 people killed were 36 football players. It remains the deadliest crash involving a sports team in U.S. history. “There is a special bond and indomitable spirit that exists between our communities, universities and football programs,” East Carolina athletic director Jon Gil- “We are grateful to Jon Gilbert and everyone at East Carolina University for their efforts in making this schedule change come to fruition,” Marshall athletic director Mike Hamrick said. “Our people, our universities and our football programs will forever be linked by the tragedy that occurred 50 years ago. This change will allow a national audience to join us in paying proper respect to the 75.” East Carolina leads the series with Marshall 10-5. The schools are scheduled to meet again in 2021 and 2025 in Huntington and 2023 in Greenville. GOODYEAR, Ariz (AP) — Luis Castillo accomplished two of his goals last year: He was the Reds’ opening day starter and made the All-Star team. He’s aiming higher in 2020. With an upgraded offense behind him, Cincinnati’s best starter thinks he’s capable of winning the Cy Young Award. “I try to set goals every year,” Castillo said. “Even though I got those two goals, I want to get three goals. I want to get three goals and add the Cy Young and make the playoff.” “I think with this team filled with veterans, it is something we can do together,” he said. Castillo, 27, had a breakout season in every way last year. He was 11-4 with a 2.63 ERA in early August before fading down the stretch of his most challenging season. He finished 15-8 with a 3.40 and 226 strikeouts in 190 2/3 innings. The first-time All-Star had career highs in wins, innings and strikeouts, relying on a changeup that former Cubs manager Joe Maddon likened to a “Bugs Bunny change-up” because of the way it complements his fastball. “He had a phenomenal year,” Reds manager David Bell said. “Just staying hungry and continuing to get better will help him reach his potential, which is through the roof. We saw a lot last year and there’s more in there for sure.” Over the last three seasons, Castillo leads the Reds’ staff with 28 wins, 78 starts, 449 2/3 innings and 489 strikeouts. He’ll be eligible for arbitration next year. Castillo got attention with his impressive beginning to last season. Bell chose him for the opening day start, and he allowed only two hits in 5 2/3 innings of a 5-3 win over Pittsburgh. After 10 starts, he was 5-1 with a 1.90 ERA, allowing only three homers overall. Castillo struggled near the end of the season as his innings piled up. He had a 4.40 ERA in his last eight starts, giving up at least five runs three times. He’s trying to use his changeup more strategically this season. “The small little things are what we are focusing on this year,” Castillo said. “The mistakes from last year. We will learn from this year.” The Reds finished near the bottom of the National League in runs scored last season despite playing in one of its most hitter-friendly ballparks. The additions of infielder Mike Moustakas and outfielders Nick Castellanos and Shogo Akiyama are expected to provide a significant upgrade, The Reds also added to an already impressive rotation by signing left-hander Wade Miley. Castillo leads a rotation that includes All-Star Sonny Gray, Trevor Bauer and Anthony DeSclafani. “I gives me such confidence,” Castillo said.
